Johnny Mercer
The Days of Wine and Roses (1963)
The days of wine and roses
Laugh and run away like a child at play
Through the meadow land toward a closing door
A door marked "nevermore" that wasn't there before
The lonely night discloses
Just a passing breeze filled with memories
Of the golden smile that introduced me to
The days of wine and roses and you
(The lonely night discloses)
Just a passing breeze filled with memories
Of the golden smile that introduced me to
The days of wine and roses and you
